Detroit Loyola defensive end Malik McDowell is the top player in Michigan for the 2014 class, ranking No. 21 nationally in the Rivals250. With his 6-6, 292-pound frame and quickness off the ball, it's easy to see what makes him such a coveted player. McDowell has offers from the likes of Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Oregon, and others.

That competition will make him a hotly-contested recruit by the time all is said and done, so it's a good thing for Michigan's coaches that they've been able to get him on campus so frequently. He made it to Ann Arbor yesterday for the Wolverines' basketball game against Illinois.
